CRIME.
The murder OF the young German girl In the
lonely environ OF Railway n. j., Promises 70 be as
mysterious case as the tragic deaths OF Jennie
Cramer and Rosa Ampler, OF Connecticut. and
Emma Person In Rhode Island. Five days have
now elapsed since the terrible crime was commit
ted, and neither the identity OF the murderer or
ms victim has yet been established The police
are at loss TO ascribe the motive for the MUIR
DER the PHYSICIANS who made the post mortem
declare that the girl was a virgin, and that no
attempt had been made at outrage. Probably the
motive was robbery; but n so, why were net the
rings taken from the girls fingers. The thief who
would commit SO brutal crime would certainly
not hesate 10 strip the dead body OF all that Was
OF any value. The police appear TO have settled
down Ia the fact that the little wicker basket OF
eggs belonged TO the murderer. They also appear
10 pc convinced that the girl In her recent travels

been followed. with no result. score OF persons
yesterday visited the undertakers and the police
department searching for missing relatives. Each
thought II possible that the murdered girl might
be the missing one, but, after gazing at the NAH
gled features. turned sadly away TO look further
for the missing.
POSSIBLE CLUE.
The New Y ork San to-day says: IT was learned
yesterday that man, who told one person at least
that his name was Byrne, went. accompanied by
two girls, on Thursday, through the country, near
Railway, looking up people Who hatch chickens
8rtifclally. "l1mothy Byrne' WAS the name In
rubber letters on the pencil stamp found In the
locked black bag that contained the numbered
girls clothing. The fact that Byrne was visiting
1ncubatorS brought TO mind the fact that basket
oi broken eggs was found near the corpse. Because
there were nine eggs in the basket, instead OF a
hall or whole dozen. the number that person
would usually buy at store, there seems TO be good
reason to suppose that the eggs were not to be used
in the ordinary way, but Tor fncubating purposes.

The dark-haired girl seemed 10 be ON better terms
with the man than the other. When my daughter

The description that MIS-. Marsto9 and her
daughter gave OF the stout, iight-compiexioped
girl answers very closely TO that OF the dead girl
